Asmita's Badminton Success

14 October 2016

As well as starting her GCSE studies this year, this half term has also been extremely busy for Asmita as she continues to excel in Badminton, taking part in various
tournaments every weekend both regionally and internationally, often competing against older age groups.

At the start of term Asmita competed in the U15 English National Championships, playing fantastically well in both the singles and doubles, eventually being crowned national
champion in the doubles and mixed doubles as well as making the semi-finals in the singles. A week later, Asmita took part in the U19 Belgium Junior International where
she reached the last 16 in both singles and doubles, an amazing achievement. Most recently, Asmita took part in the Warwickshire Senior County Championships where she
won the women’s doubles and mixed doubles.

Well done Asmita on all your achievements this term, we look forward to sharing more successes with you in the future.
